• Exposure biomarkers such as vitellogenin induction in male fish are useful for tracking substances of concern and for linking field and laboratory data that inform fish chronic tests.
• Recent interlaboratory comparisons of the vitellogenin immunoassay yielded coefficients of variation in the 38-55% range, supporting its reproducibility.

• No direct concept-to-concept edges are published yet.
